My EMT class came up with TP My Axx (you get the idea) to remember the flow of blood through the valves: Tricuspid, pulmonary (to lungs) Mitral, Aortic (to body).
In addition, studies have shown that Parkinsonâs has no real impact on life expectancy and those in study groups live to the same age as those without the disease. In fact, most people can live up to twenty years after their diagnosis. Can You Die from Parkinsonâs Disease? Parkinsonâs is not a fatal disease, meaning those afflicted with it do not die from the disease itself.
In other words, over a period of 8 years, after having had Parkinsonâs for over 9 years, on average, when the study began, just over half (54.5%; 122/224) developed dementia. About the same number (56.7%; 127) had died.
